The reason the charging port is on the bottom is due to the original removable battery option. The charging port is in the same location as the latch for the removable battery cover. That allowed Apple to save $$ by keeping the industrial design almost identical between the two different versions. 

That's ok then.  I'm perfectly happy to accept suboptimal design if it contributes to Apple's bottom line.

Absolute clowns using this as an excuse to attack the BBC* when Apple have clearly got numerous kinks to work out.  Why anyone would have AI turned on right now is beyond me, wasting your phone's power on dodgy info.


*hated by the right for being too left wing, hated by the left for being too right wing, doing a pretty good job.

I doubt this has legs, but I hope Apple up the storage level of the free tier to head it off anyway, the lack of increase over so many years is as much of an insult to their customers as is their RAM and storage upgrade pricing.

Awful news.  More software stagnation incoming.

Advice to Ireland- withdraw from the EU!  From uncontrolled immigration and crime issues to economic dictation, the EU best served itself and its unelected bureaucrats than its member countries who have surrendered their sovereignty to Brussels! 

You nuts bro.

The EU's support of Ireland has meant it has gone from one of the poorest countries in the bloc to one of the richest.  It's a major success story, and the Irish are not going to jeopardise that by doing something so stupid like leave the EU.  Only one country has ever been idiotic enough to do that, and they're knee deep in shit as a consequence.
